The photos are beautifully done and it was very impressive to see them all together displayed in the Gallery. Congratulations, John!
Not everyone will be attracted to these photographs as they make a very strong statement about development on Saltspring Island (although John does still insist he is just documenting what is happening...) and consist mainly of the Channel Ridge development around Vesuvius.
Now what is interesting about this development is that it boasted about having loads of environmentally friendly features and the first thing they do is cut down all the trees!
John having a little joke while I try to take a photo.
Out of hiding finally...
John has also photographed a lot of the traditional beauty of Saltspring and the original idea of the show was to have these photographs side by side but in the end there wasn't room. So I took this shot of the clear cut photos juxtaposed with the idyllic beauty of Saltspring out the gallery window.
A few more shots of Galleons Lap...I loved the primary colours.
